Division 3.3.3 Reporting interval of information transmission

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The different information types of Inland AIS messages shall be transmitted with different reporting rates.

The reporting rate for dynamic information can be switched between autonomous mode and assigned mode for moving vessels in inland waterway areas. The reporting rate can be increased up to 2 seconds in assigned mode. The reporting behaviour shall be switchable from an AIS base station (via AIS Message 23 for group assignment or Message 16 for individual assignment) and by commands from external ship-borne systems, via IEC 61162 interface as defined in Appendix B.

For static and voyage related the reporting rate shall be 6 minutes, on request, or if information is amended.

Following reporting rates shall be applicable:

Static vessel information:Every 6 minutes, on request or when data has been changed
Dynamic vessel information:Depends on navigational status and vessel operating mode, either autonomous (default) or assigned mode, see Table 3.1
Voyage related vessel information:Every 6 minutes, on request or when data has been changed
Number of persons on board:As required or on request
Safety related messages:As required
Application Specific Messages:As required (to be defined by competent authority)

Table 3.1

Update rate of dynamic vessel information

When a mobile station determines that it is the semaphore (refer to Recommendation ITU-R M.1371, Annex 2, § 3.1.1.4), the reporting rate shall increase to once per two seconds (refer to Recommendation ITU-R M.1371, Annex 2, § 3.1.3.3.2).

Shall be switched by competent authority, when necessary.
